For students, mental health is a crucial aspect of everyday life. With this being the case, it’s important to incorporate mindful coping strategies into daily routines.

Whether you struggle with academic pressure, financial stress, social isolation and adjustment or uncertainty there will never be a “quick fix”. But the good news is that there is help available with MindBeacon digital therapy – available to Red River College students at no cost with referral.

Designed to Empower You

Designed to improve your mental health and build your resilience to life’s challenges, MindBeacon provides Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (or CBT), an evidence-based form of psychological therapy.  This form of therapy is often considered the gold standard when it comes to helping people with mild to moderate depression, insomnia, or anxiety.

What is CBT?

CBT is a psychological approach that helps people identify and change their thought patterns and behaviors. It is based on the idea that our thoughts, feeling, and behaviors are interconnected. By altering thought patterns, people can improve their emotional well-being and develop more effective coping strategies. CBT is typically a time-limited and goal-oriented therapy. If you feel motivated to dedicate 12 weeks to improve your mental health, please request a referral.

Therapy at Your Convenience

You can use MindBeacon whenever and wherever you choose to using either your phone, tablet, or laptop. Don’t worry about booking appointments either, you will remain in contact with your therapist using the app via messaging!
